Living in Sheffield for the past three years has allowed me to explore the city and its variety of restaurants. From Italian to Chinese, Lebanese to American, the options here are endless. However, being an Indian myself, I was on the hunt for authentic Indian food, something that would remind me of home. If you want the same, this guide is here to make your hunt easier! Here are my top three Indian restaurants in Sheffield.
#1 The Cats Pyjamas
Location: 631 Ecclesall Road, S11 8PT
In search of authentic Indian food? Look no further! Cats Pyjamas is the place to go. Their wide variety of curries and street food options will take you through a journey from the Punjabi tandoors to the Kerelan fish curries. Their food is reasonably priced for students, and the restaurant itself is very cool looking, making it a great place for gatherings.
#2 Maveli’s
Location: 223 Glossop Road, S10 2GW
This Indian restaurant is one of the very few restaurants in Sheffield that serve South Indian food, the comfort food for Indians worldwide. Maveli’s offer a wide range of south Indian curries and dishes that remind you of home. However, the one thing that gave Maveli its spot on the top 3 list is….. DOSAS! Yes, they do serve dosas, something we all dearly miss when we live abroad. So go check this place out if your tummy craves some amazing south Indian food.
#3 Urban Choola
Location: 842 Ecclesall Road, S11 8TD
If you’re craving some delicious kebabs and chaat’s, this is the place for you. Their incredible dishes transport you straight to the north India, the place of spice, rice and everything nice! The restaurant is very Instagram-friendly and their food is reasonably priced. This should definitely be on your bucket list if you’re a big foodie in Sheffield.
I hope that this has inspired you to explore the Indian restaurants of Sheffield, and if you have any other favourites let us know!
